Does anybody in R50 land run torque for android via Bluetooth obd2 adapter? I need a recommendation for an adapter. I tried a cheap ELM327 clone adapter from eBay, no dice. I just want it to work now and am looking for any known working adapter with torque + R50.

Got it, I have everything except the hardware now. If all goes to plan I'll have it together this weekend.

So if I'm understanding you correctly, you tightened down the nylon nut inside the body spacer? Was it difficult to get a socket in there? Edit: I'm an idiot, disregard that. I had to think way too hard about that to visualize what you meant.

I feel you novapath, we need protection from rocks on these rigs. You running skids?

If you have access to an impact gun that's what will work best, hold the wrench in one hand and the impact gun with the other.

Sounds sketchy, but maybe I'm wrong. Got any pics of this?

Park in well lit areas. Lock your doors. Most importantly, don't leave anything of value what so ever in sight. If you have valuable wheels and/or tires, use lug locks. Just use common sense, and remember that if someone wants your truck badly enough, nothing will stop them from taking it.

285/75/16 is 11.22" wide, I think op wants to run stock wheels. I would not go that wide on 7" wheels.

I'm interested in the flares if they're off a facelift r50

Cool pictures, what was the trail carnage suffered?

Well, crap! I guess I should have asked you first.. itchy trigger finger. Oh well it's on its way now, the ES bump stops are actually 2.5" wide, so .5" less than stock, and 3/8" hole. They have a smaller 2" diameter set that looks the same as well. I'll update this thread once they're installed and tested.

Thanks for that info, you don't happen to also remember the socket size of the stock bolt do you? My local Nissan dealer wants $108 per bumpstop... Yeah, no thanks. I've looked around and can't find an oe aftermarket replacement, so I got the Energy Suspension 9-9143R. They look like they will squish more than the OEM one so I went with the BB02, if it turns out to be too much, I'll switch to the BB01.

Oh man, that's perfect! So the hole in the spacer is the right size for the stock bolt? I think I'm going to get the BB01 1" flavor of these. Thanks hawairish

Stupidly, I didn't replace my missing rear axle bump stops, and with 32's and no sway bar I overflexed and popped a flare. This got me wondering if there are any bigger bump stops that will fit our trucks. Obviously stock ones will be better than none but I vaguely remember seeing somewhere on here where someone had bigger or extended length stops.

I wish mine were as rusty as yours! I popped a rear flare under flex and saw this

Cool pics nova, what did you end up doing for stronger trailing arms? I know you were having issues with bending them. I bent one yesterday, definitely need something stronger.

Well the new tires don't rub, so I'm going to shelf the idea until the spring.

Definitely, there are good eBay merchants in Ontario, but I've also gotten parts from California dirt cheap, even after shipping.

That is one great looking truck! Makes me wish I had a wd21 too

Much thanks to cnam and cdn_s4 for the pictures.... I will get the tires on first then see where I'm at. Cdn, where did you get the rubber fender flare material? (Also what's your first name so I can stop calling you cdn_s4)

Jyeager, do you still have your stock bumper on? Did you just ditch the plastic wheel well liners? I'd like to see a pic of your setup if you have one.

I have 1.5" wheel spacers, strut perch will not be an issue. I was referring to strut spacers. I ran 1" ones and had camber and CV issues, rather not go that route again.

So I'm getting 5 new 32" BFG KM tires, my 31's barely clear as is, I don't want to run spacers and can't afford to SFD. I'm seriously thinking about cutting the fenders and folding a lip inward right to where the plastic flares meet the fender. The front bumper would need to be cut too, along the same contour. The problem is once it's done if it looks stupid, there's no going back. Is it a terrible idea or should I go for it?
